Why can't my employees do the shredding themselves? |
Could they? Yes. Should they? NO.
Sensitive material such as payroll information, employee information and legal information should not be entrusted to employees to destroy. In addition, standard office shredders do not have the capacity to shred substantial amounts of paper and other material. They average about 10 documents at a time and all paper clips, binder clips, rubber bands, etc. must be removed. What’s more, they constantly jam. Our shredder is 30-50 times faster.
In a nutshell, legal liability, security, privacy issues, employee theft, identity theft, corporate and industrial espionage and the costs associated with running your own shredding operation make it risky. Since the objective of shredding information is to reduce risk, it just does not make sense to do it in-house.
